Additional Crew

Usage
These usage notes will not be included in articles bearing this template.
This template is for showing the officers and fleet officers of crews in a showable/hideable box. To use, first copy and paste the following into your crew's page. This infobox is currently under development, so it may change in how it is called or it may just not work.
{{</nowiki>Infobox crew additional
|crew=
|oceanname=
|fleetofficers=
|officers=
|updateday=
|updatemonth=
|updateyear=
}}
Next, fill in each parameter with your crew's information, placing it between the equals sign and vertical bar/pipe ("|"). If your crew doesn't have fleet officers and/or officers, simply remove that line from the infobox. For the update fields, use the numeric day, month, and year without any leading zeros. For the 7th of January, 2006, for example, the fields would be:
|updateday=7
|updatemonth=1
|updateyear=2006
- fleetofficers (defaults to blank)
- officers (defaults to blank)
- updateday (defaults to none)
- updatemonth (defaults to none)
- updateyear (defaults to none)
- oceanname (defaults to none)
Troubleshooting the template
If it doesn't seem to be displaying correctly, first check the following things:
- Make sure all of your linked fleet officer and officer names have an opening and closing set of tags ([[ and ]])
- If you are on more than one ocean, use two separate infoboxes using the table info below
- Make sure you have not accidentally deleted the | that separates each variable
- Make sure there is an opening and closing tag for the template ({{ and }})
- Make sure you used the number of the month instead of its name in the update field, and make sure you have no leading zeros (May is month 5, not 05), and that you used the 4-digit year (2006, not 06)
If you still can't get it to work after checking those things, leave a note on the crew's talk page asking for help (don't forget to put something like "infobox help" in the edit summary) and someone will be happy to give you a hand with it.
Using more than one Infobox crew on a page
If you're using more than one infobox template on a page (as most of you will be considering this is to be a complement to the current infobox crew,) put it into a table using the following table code:
{| border=0 style="float:right;"
|-
|
<infoboxes here>
|}
This will stop the edit links for sections from being all over the place.
